Train to Another World.

Chapter 276 Let’s start again

During the banquet, Zhong Ling came to Li Zhuoguang's table under the pretext of meeting some sisters. She first glanced at the lightning marten that Huang Shiren was sitting on with his fat butt because it had disturbed Huang Shiren. Then she looked at Li Zhuoguang:
"Why don't you take me with you when you go out to play?"

Li Zhuoguang was surprised and said, "I went out to do some serious work, why would I bring you with me?"

"Then why did you bring my brother?"

"I didn't bring your brother up with me. He followed me here on his own. As a girl, you probably can't be as shameless as your brother."

Zhong Ling: "You... humph!"

Duan Yu: "I...Alas!"

Zhong Ling's eyes rolled: "When will you return Diao'er to me?"

Not long after Li Zhuoguang got the lightning marten, he gave it to Xiong Facai for identification. The lightning marten is just one of the martens with a higher resistance to poison. Because it often eats poisonous snakes, there are often multiple types of snake venom in its mouth.

Like the bacteria in the mouth of a Komodo dragon, the mink does not produce toxins itself, and the toxins in its mouth come from food residues. The reason why it is difficult to deal with is that there are many types of toxins and they are randomly mixed, and it is impossible to prepare a special antidote, so it is difficult to deal with.

Therefore, the lightning marten is just an ordinary animal, and one of these individuals cannot be exchanged for much money if taken to the research institute.

Li Zhuoguang lifted Huang Shiren by the scruff of his neck and moved him away. Then he reached out and grabbed the lightning marten and handed it to Zhong Ling: "Here, I'll give it back to you."

Zhong Ling took the lightning marten, looked at Li Zhuoguang in a daze, stomped her feet, and left.

Xiong Facai picked up a plate of honey-glazed fire square and carefully used a fork to pick it up. He had specifically asked Li Zhuoguang for the recipe and then informed the imperial chef of the palace. He stared at the fire square without moving, but still approached Li Zhuoguang and whispered, "That girl is interested in you."

Li Zhuoguang stretched out his chopsticks, fiercely took away half of Xiong Facai's honey-glazed hot pot, and put it into his own bowl. Ignoring Xiong Facai's resentful look, he said to himself: "Do you think I can't see? But the girl is only sixteen this year, and I won't stay here for long, so let's make a decision now."

Xiong Facai stretched out his hand to protect the remaining honey-glazed fire cubes on the plate and said, "Since I can see it, how can the girl's father not see it?"

Li Zhuoguang raised his head and looked towards the main seat, only to see Duan Zhengchun looking at him with a smile. His eyes looked like a father looking at his son. No, we have to leave immediately, tonight.

But Lao Duan was quicker, and even before the banquet was over, he left the table, saying he had something to do. But as soon as he left, someone took advantage of the break in serving the dishes to put a piece of paper in Li Zhuoguang's hand.

Unfold the paper:

Please come to the Imperial Study for a chat.

What else can he do? He might as well meet her. Li Zhuoguang used the excuse of going to the bathroom to stop the eunuch who had just given him the note and asked him to lead the way. Soon, Li Zhuoguang arrived at the imperial study.

There was tea already brewed on the soft couch next to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun was holding a book and pretending to read it. Li Zhuoguang walked over and sat down.

Seeing that the protagonist had arrived, Duan Zhengchun put down the book and dismissed everyone else in the imperial study.

After everyone left, Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Zhuoguang and said, "The child is still young and a little naive."

Hearing this, Li Zhuoguang's eyes lit up. As expected, no father would give his daughter to a yellow-haired man. Old Duan's reaction at this time was normal.

Li Zhuoguang quickly said, "I think so too. Children don't understand anything. Sometimes they don't even know what they are doing."

"So you forgive her?"

"What's the point of forgiving or not forgiving? She didn't do anything wrong. She just acted a little inappropriately."

"Brother Li is so generous. I thank you on behalf of Ah Zhu." "You're welcome... Wait, what does this have to do with Ah Zhu?"

"Weren't we just talking about you wanting to punish Ah Zhu for marrying a beggar?"

"Oh, that matter, I thought you were talking about Zhong Ling."

Duan Zhengchun rubbed his brows and said, "Wait, what happened to Ling'er?"

"It's no big deal, we just don't bother with him. And as for the matter with Ah Zhu, believe me, that was the best outcome for him."

"How can being a beggar be a good destination?!"

"The king among beggars is no longer a beggar?"

"Are you talking about Qiao Feng?"

"It's him, and he is a beggar now, but he won't be one soon." Then, Li Zhuoguang told Duan Zhengchun about Qiao Feng's general situation.

Duan Zhengchun's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was not a Han Chinese and had no grudge against the Khitans. Moreover, Qiao Feng grew up in Han territory. Although he had Khitan blood, he was different from the Han Chinese, so he could accept this.

"But his current situation..."

"If he is alone, it is hard to say. But I think he needs to stay with his adoptive parents. If you ask Ah Zhu to recruit him to Dali, I think he will agree."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"I want to ask you a question."

"Brother Li, please speak."

"You are now the emperor of Dali, and Ah Zhu is the princess of Dali. Logically, you should just pretend that this matter never happened when I mentioned it casually, but you still came to me to discuss it. What exactly do you think?"

Duan Zhengchun's face straightened: "Brother Li knew that Ah Zhu was my flesh and blood, but he still said that he wanted to marry her to a beggar. Either she really made a big mistake, or Brother Li had other reasons. In any case, I can't turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to it."

Li Zhuoguang nodded and left without saying anything.

In the end, he did not leave overnight. The next day, he asked Qin Daniu to beat Duan Yu half to death under the pretext of sparring. It was estimated that he would not be able to catch up in a short time. Zhong Ling asked Ah Zhu and Ah Bi to stop him for a while.

Li Zhuoguang and his party set out again with Wang Yuyan. The reason was simple. Wang Yuyan held the Seven Treasures Ring and was now the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. With her around, it would be easier to negotiate with the Tianshan Tonglao. After all, the people in the Lingjiu Palace were all miserable people, and they were extremely loyal to the Tianshan Tonglao.

Li Zhuoguang was unwilling to kill, but he wanted the secret book. Therefore, Wang Yuyan, the human lubricant, was very important.

Dali is still some distance away from Tianshan Mountains, but if Li Zhuoguang chooses to cross Tibet, he can save a lot of time.

Tubo is not Dali, and the relationship between it and Song Dynasty is not good. After entering Tubo from Dali, Zhang Jing returned to Song Dynasty because it was inconvenient for him to follow. Li Zhuoguang passed by several large temples, wanting to see if Jiumozhi was doing his job. But he never thought that he would see a monk in the temple.

Although they were all Buddhists, there was still a difference between lamas and monks. What was even more bizarre was that those monks seemed to recognize Li Zhuoguang.

When they saw Li Zhuoguang, the monks all bowed down in worship and called him the guardian deity.

Li Zhuoguang held his forehead and sighed. Isn't Jiumozhi working too hard? Too hard!

(PS: I finished coding this chapter at 5:15am. I felt like I was going crazy. Luckily I have a day off today, otherwise I would have to take a leave to write the chapter this afternoon. My procrastination is getting worse and worse. I have to find a way to cure it. Do you have any tips?)
